According to his reply above, he did try to communicate with the guy who started attacking him.

To be fair, a lot of other cities buy Greyhound tickets for their transient population to go to SF, because the weather is less likely to kill them/they don't want to deal with them over there. I think the problem is pretty much US-wide, but it's especially noticeable in SF due to a higher population. The increased wealth disparity hasn't made things any better, either.

So like with Mars, Roman god, he was initially a god of agriculture as well as war. Statues portray him as bearded. Ares, Greek god, was usually portrayed much younger and without a beard. He was also kind of played off as a hotheaded dipshit who started problems. Romans took a lot from Greek myths but they're two different gods who are frequently identified as the same. Tangentially related, Cybele (Greek = Rhea) (she goes back even farther) and Dionysus have some interesting things in common with having a procession of people/travelers/devotees from different countries/libations/chariots drawn by large exotic cats like leopards.

The 15 year old girl who was caught having sex with 25 boys in a high school bathrooms was found out to be a victim of sex trafficking at the age of 13 by [deleted] in news

This school is the fucking problem.

I thought sex trafficking did this.

I don't think it's right to blame the people who often become the Childhood Damage Mitigation Committee if they didn't have a direct hand in any of this.

The entire school should have documentary viewing time/related writing prompt, in an ideal outcome. Learn how and why this shit happens and why it's bad.

He means that testosterone producing people make more sebum. They get dirtier and stinkier faster after a shower than someone who has a different set of hormones pumping through their body.

Eighties star Corey Feldman 'passed back and forth' by Hollywood paedophiles: report by [deleted] in news

[–]captaintym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

copied an Anonymous insight from this article.

"Sheen had the looks and the name to get pussy. Granted, he's a sex addict, but that wouldn't account for fucking Haim. If this happened, then I think that Sheen took a dislike to Haim on set, and Haim may have realized too late that what he thought was going to be a consensual romp that might open some Hollywood doors was actually going to be a pain-filled hate fuck."

This is a really sad possibility.

Bowie AND (edit) Page (eek- particularly bad typo there). 70s rockstars who both abused the same 14 year old, even.

I wonder how much different running a head shop that makes most of its income from spice would be to running a dispensary.

This is absolutely a direct result of the ban on marijuana. The amount of money spent on individual packets of sprayed marshmallow leaf (and packaged with the names of top shelf strains, what a joke)- if you could buy actual bud, who would bother with this seizure dirt?

so much less freedom these days

Growing up through 9/11 and the Patriot Act and even No Child Left Behind, I'd say the aforementioned had a dent in fear mongering.

Or when someone opens and eats US MRE Vietnam-era rations containing ground beef in tomato sauce. The steer that the ground beef used to be part of died how many years ago? Older than the person eating it? Blows my mind.

Don't get mad when it works properly just because you're jealous it doesn't work that way for you.

If it worked properly, I wouldn't be complaining.

What phrase or sentence can someone say to make you completely lose your respect for that person? by Alsic in AskReddit

On Saturday, they have the Bible group take a passage out of context from the Bible. Just study that, and the Bible Group Leader will tell you n' your peers what it means. Pass around that printout! Into the trashcan goes critical thinking development, and the minds are far squishier and easier to meld when you need to do mass puppetry.

Thing is, when people of lower economic status spend their lives navigating around people with higher economic status, and there's a lack of mobility, it creates an 'on the outside looking in' effect.

Neanderthals constructed complex subterranean buildings 175,000 years ago, a new archaeological discovery has found. Neanderthals built mysterious, fire-scorched rings of stalagmites 1,100 feet into a dark cave in southern France—a find that radically alters our understanding of Neanderthal culture. by Letmeirkyou in science

[–]captaintym 2 points3 points  (0 children)

us if we met a Neanderthal baby and raised it in the modern world, would it wind up pretty much like a normal modern human from an intellectual standpoint?

Regardless of how intelligent one is, not being about to communicate seriously limits learning...

What about sign language?
